Pronunciation practice: 5-syllable words

SHAYNA OLIVEIRA
About this episode

Are you ready to practice your pronunciation with some longer words?

The ones we'll practice today all have 5 syllables – like the word vocabulary: vo-CA-bu-la-ry

I'll say each word twice – once a little more slowly with some separation between the syllables, and then once at normal speed. Repeat after me both times.

To improve your pronunciation FAST, join my Pronunciation & Shadowing Courses.

My pronunciation course will train you to pronounce all the sounds in the English language clearly and correctly, and then the shadowing course helps you practice saying whole phrases after me.

There's a discount when you join both courses together!
